Mighty Sooners in Aggieland

Those dirty little Sooners. After back-to-back home wins against OSU and Missouri, they’ve given me hope again. Just like after the Utah win, I thought this team was growing. Then they pooped on everything.

So, what is a Dirt Monkey to expect when the mighty Sooners (11-6, 2-1) travel to College Station to take on the Army Aggies (12-5, 1-2) tonight at 7 p.m.?

Will Tony Crocker’s leg fall off again? Will Tommy Mason-Griffin open up a thrift shop of ball-handling? Will Tiny Gallon have 12 fouls in the first five minutes? Will Gravy Train eat a cheeseburger for lunch? I only know the answer to one of these questions, but I do have some hot hoops bullet points after the jump. Tasty.

• Where has this Ryan Wright been? All of sudden he’s able to finish without the ball bouncing off his forehead. Can he keep it up?
• Stephen Pledger is turning into more than just a spot-up shooter. He’s getting more and more minutes and doing some of the little things … and from someone other than the upperclassmen.
• Speaking of upperclassmen, I’m not sure where this team would be without the hustle of Tony Crocker and Cade Davis. Well, really, really bad, that’s where. His flu-fueled double-double Saturday was worthy of an ovation.
• Is Willie Warren back? He’s starting to play with the heart and determination that we saw last year.
• And my biggest fear, will this team go back into a tailspin if the
  next two road games against Texas A&M and Texas Tech don’t go their way?

Anyway, you can check out the game tonight on the Big 12 Network or at ESPN360.com. If you want to get crazy about some Sooner basketball, go check out the boys at OUHoops.com. They know stuff.
